You choose - some participants prefer all in-person meetings, others prefer phone/video to save funding hours.

Can I find other NDIS services through MD Home Care?

Yes. MD Home Care connects you with providers across a wide range of NDIS and aged care services, including:

• Support coordination (what this page covers)
• SIL (Supported Independent Living)
• Daily personal activities support
• Community nursing
• Allied health (OT, physio, speech)
• Community access and social participation
• Plan management

Benefit: One provider for multiple services = better coordination and communication.

NDIS allows participants to use the same provider for coordination and delivery services. Support coordinators through MD Home Care maintain independence and always recommend the best provider for your needs.

What happens if my coordinator goes on leave?

Providers through MD Home Care offer team backup:

• Another coordinator covers all leave periods
• Full handover of your case and current situation
• Continuity of service maintained
• 24/7 support still available during coordinator leave

Unlike solo coordinators, you’re never without coverage.

How does support coordination differ from plan management?

Support Coordination (this service):

• Connects you with service providers
• Helps implement your NDIS plan
• Builds your capacity to coordinate supports
• Monitors service quality and budget use
• Funded under Capacity Building Supports

Plan Management (separate service):

• Pays your provider invoices
• Tracks your budget and spending
• Processes claims to NDIS
• Provides financial reports
• Funded under Improved Life Choices (Core Supports)

You can have both - many participants do. MD Home Care provides both services for integrated support.

Can I get support coordination in languages other than English?

Yes! MD Home Care coordinators speak 20+ languages including:

• Arabic, Mandarin, Cantonese
• Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese
• Greek, Italian, Spanish
• Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil
• Tagalog, Indonesian, Thai
• And many more

We’ll match you with a coordinator who speaks your preferred language for clearest communication.

What if I’m not happy with my support coordinator?

Your satisfaction is our priority. You can:

• Request a different coordinator through MD Home Care’s network
• Provide feedback for coordinator improvement
• Switch to another provider (no lock-in contracts)

MD Home Care has a robust feedback process and will work with you to find the right match.

Does support coordination work with agency-managed plans?

Support Coordination is available for all NDIS plan management types:

• ✅ Self-managed plans
• ✅ Plan-managed plans
• ✅ Agency-managed (NDIA-managed) plans

However, the other support services you access must match your plan management type.
